BMH and partners mark World Mental Health Day

BMH and partners marked
World Mental Health Day with an event to challenge mental health
stigma. BMH, Bristol Anti Stigma Alliance, Bristol City Council and
Bristol Clinical Commissioning Group brought Talkaoke, a pop-up
talk show, along with face painting and an information stall
about mental health, to Cabot Circus on Saturday 8
October.

Over 40 people took part in Talkaoke, where they discussed
topics around mental health, ranging from how the media covers
mental health stories, to how men express their feelings, and
everything in between.

Almost 400 people chatted to volunteers helping on the day and
found out more about the mental health services that are available
to them in Bristol. Meanwhile, children enjoyed having their faces
painted in a variety of fun designs.

World Mental Health Day is held on 10 October each year to
encourage advocacy, awareness and education around mental
health.
